Description
-
A group of Spanish merchants, including Girolamo Benzoni, ran out of food while crossing part of Panama and were forced to seek help from a group of Indigenous people they encountered, and stayed a night in their village. The Indigenous people were very hospitable to the Spaniards. Their horses and mules are stabled in a structure on the right, while several Spaniards are shown to sleeping quarters with hammocks and a fire on the left. Three Spaniards are served food and drink at a table on the left, and nearby an Indigenous man converses with several more Spaniards. The text indicates that, out of gratitude to the Spaniards for not enslaving them, the Indigenous people provided the group with fish, fruit, bread and meat for the rest of their journey.
